The past is obdurate. The past harmonizes with itself. I saw the mini-series based on this book before reading/listening to the book, so I was spoiled on much of the major developments. Still I enjoyed this book--probably not any less than I would have unspoiled. (I can't know for sure since I...
Frustration ! OMg I was inner screaming at these time traveler to move, act, jump, run, think, run, run, or just do it now, through the whole story. it was a bit overwhelming with all the time line crossovers and realignments etc, but Mr. King hit a home run with this book. It just boggles the mind ...
I am a little bit embarrassed to admit that this is the first Stephen King book I have ever read (aside from Rose Madder which I began reading when I was about 11 until my mother asked me before bed one night "what's this about, honey" and I described it in great detail and she immediately vetoed th...
Picture this: It’s 1963. The stage is set. It’s a beautiful morning in Dallas, Texas. The birds are singing at the top of their lungs. The sky is the bluest Texas is gonna give ya. It’s 71 degrees out and a little windy. People are scurrying around like nobody’s business. People are getting re...
Recently a colleague at my place of employment said to me that it was her intention to read a lot more of the books by Stephen King as she loved a good horror story. To designate Mr King as simply a horror writer is a gross injustice to perhaps one of the greatest if not the greatest literary talent...
Al Templeton has a secret and that secret is that he has a little time portal to 1958 in the basement of his diner. Each time he goes through, it resets everything, which has been allowing him to buy ground beef for his diner at an incredibly low price for years. Then Al decided he should do somethi...
This is amazing writing, just proving again why he has such staying power as an author.I was completely focused on this story the entire time. It isn't really a horror like many of his, but it's very suspenseful and engulfing. It's full of mystery, time travel, what ifs and unique looks into histo...
The past doesn't want to be changed.The problem with time travel and the butterfly effect is that most writers don't have enough imagination to see how a slightly different action or conversation can affect the rest of the world. Sure, theorizing how major events might be different is easy, but the ...
Sometimes you just want to read a story; Mr. King is a master story-teller. I have not read much of Mr. King's work and not for a long time. I have only read "The Stand", "Pet Sematary" and "Needful Things". However, three of my favorite movies are stories by Mr. King - "Shawshank Redemption ('Rit...
I was very careful when I first started this book. It was shortly after the huge disappointment that was Under The Dome and I was torn between not reading another tome from the same author (at least for a while) and Time Travel. As usual, time travel won. But in this case, I'm so glad it did. It w...
